Match Overview
Brighton and Hove Albion host Ajax at the Amex Stadium in Brighton on 26 October in a match in the UEFA Europa League. Both these teams will be keen on getting a positive result by the end of a well-fought evening, but it has to be said that Ajax are the favourites despite being away from home. Brighton have to be at the peak of their form to beat Ajax.
Key Highlights
Brighton, one of the high-rising sides in the Premier League, will be put down by the statistic that they have not won a match in their last 5 attempts to do so. At the same time, they haven't kept a clean sheet in their last 14 matches. Ajax will be keen on noting these numbers down and then make full use of them come matchday.
Injury Report
Tariq Lamptey, Pervis Estupinan and Julio Enciso are among some of the players of the home team who will not be available for selection for this game. Ajax, on the other hand, will have to make do without Geronimo Rulli among a few others.
Prediction
We expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this game. Ajax, for their part, have not had the best of times in the recent past. They have not won a match in their last 8 attempts and failed to keep a clean sheet in six of them. It will not be easy for them to travel away from home and take on a rather pumped-up Brighton side egged on by their supporters.
